Precision without Limits:

ART, LP-Research, and Hololight,
Redefine Infrastructure for Professional VR and AR

  1. The Vision

As digital data and physical environments continue to merge, Hololight, Advanced Realtime Tracking (ART), and LP-Research announce their technological collaboration. The objective is to create an integrated infrastructure for demanding VR and AR applications that combines maximum precision with peak performance and data security regardless of the deployment location.

  1. The Technological Value Chain

The partnership offers a seamless solution covering the entire process from high-precision data acquisition to fluid visualization:

  • Precise Acquisition (ART): Professional infrared tracking systems provide high-accuracy 6DOF data, establishing a stable and absolute spatial reference for headsets and objects within any defined volume. By capturing high-precision ground-truth positioning, ART ensures the fundamental alignment necessary for complex industrial environments.
  • Intelligent Refinement (LP-Research): Leveraging over a decade of specialized expertise, these state-of-the-art inertial-optical algorithms bridge the gap between raw tracking data and hardware response. This technology eliminates jitter and achieves ultra-low latency through predictive motion modeling. Optimized for diverse hardware platforms, it ensures a seamless, high-quality experience in both static and highly dynamic environments.
  • Centralized Calculation and Streaming (Hololight): All data is processed centrally on high-performance cloud or on-premise infrastructure. Using proprietary XR streaming technology, the rendered environment is pixel-streamed to the headset in real time. This architecture enables the visualization of massive and high-poly scenarios, bypassing the hardware and performance limitations of mobile end-devices.
  1. Decisive Value for Professional Users

This trio provides the necessary robustness for mission-critical applications (includes scenarios where line-of-sight might be lost):

  • Limitless Performance: Complex visualizations and simulations are no longer restricted by the limited processing power of mobile headset chips.
  • Maximum Data Security: Since the complete calculation takes place centrally, sensitive project data remains securely on the server and is never stored locally on the end device.
  • No Trade-Offs: The content overlays are as stable as rendered with native tracking directly on the headset, and with the increased accuracy of ART tracking.
  • Absolute Stability: The combined tracking expertise guarantees jitter-free overlay of digital content, where you expect them to be and stay there, even with multiple users and during the most violent movements. This stability is critical for high-stakes training, high-precision prototyping, and technical development.
  1. Outlook

The partners are continuously evaluating the technology in challenging scenarios. These range from stationary setups in development to applications on mobile platforms to perfect the interaction between humans, machines, and digital data in every professional environment. Joint developments will be presented at upcoming industry events and technical showcases.

About Advanced Realtime Tracking (ART) 

 

Since 1999, Advanced Realtime Tracking GmbH & Co. KG is one of the leading manufacturers of premium optical motion tracking systems for Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR). Typical customers and users are the automotive and aviation industries as well as research institutes and universities. We meet market requirements for the tracking of tools (“ Tool Tracking ”) with various technologies from the product areas DTRACK and VERPOSE. All ART products are highly precise, reliable in use and can be customized.

About LP-Research

 

LP-Research is a global engineering company specializing in advanced sensor fusion, proprietary algorithms, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and precision tracking solutions for VR, AR, automotive, industrial, and research applications. Its international team delivers high-accuracy hardware, flexible customization, and reliable technical support, enabling partners to build immersive, real-time spatial computing experiences with confidence.

About Hololight

 

Hololight is the Industrial Standard and the Enterprise Infrastructure Layer for XR. Radically decoupling software from hardware makes Hololight the strategic decision for global scalability. By streaming pixels instead of data, we ensure absolute sovereignty and unmatched performance. To push the boundaries of independence, we developed a proprietary tech stack that scales seamlessly from on-premise workstations to global server rack deployments. Our orchestration platform transforms fragmented XR landscapes into a unified, secure, and scalable IT standard. Any data. Any device. Instantly. Rock-solid stability. No compromise.

LPVR Support for Varjo XR-4

Varjo Releases Mixed Reality Headset XR-4

A leap forward in XR comes from our partners at Varjo, who have been pushing what is possible in VR and AR for the past few years.

Today, they announced their new flagship headset, the XR-4! We have worked with them to ensure that our LPVR software series is ready for it from the start.

The XR-4 features unmatched visual fidelity not only of VR content (expanded to a field-of-view of 120×105 deg), but also of mixed-reality video pass-through, reaching a pixel density of 51ppd in the central viewing area. Light sensors further improve the quality of immersion by adjusting the image display to external lighting conditions.

LPVR Support is Ready

All this is great, but what is a headset without a world to immerse in? What is a VR racetrack without feeling the real motions of the car? Varjo clearly understood and prepared, so they collaborated with us to get LPVR ready for the launch of the XR-4.

We have everything prepared for you!

  • Use your existing camera systems and props to augment the virtual world.
  • Use the industrial-grade precision of ART, OptiTrack, and Vicon tracking systems with the Varjo XR-4 and our custom marker holders.
  • Integrate the HMD with your race-car simulator or fighter jet platform.
  • Do all of this with the XR-4. LPVR-CAD, and LPVR-DUO will make sure that you are tracked perfectly.

 

*We offer full solutions of state-of-the-art tracking systems and content using the Varjo XR-4.
For specific supported HMD models, please contact us for detailed information.

LPVR-AIR Demo at SIGGRAPH 2023

Ready – Steady – Go!

We had an exciting week at the Siggraph 2023 computer graphics conference in Los Angeles showcasing LPVR-AIR! Together with optical tracking systems maker Optitrack and content creator Meptik we developed a real-time racing experience using trikes. On these trikes exhibition attendees were able to race in a small concourse we set up at the exhibition site. Each trike rider we equipped with a Meta Quest virtual reality headset showing a Mario Kart-like track using our LPVR-AIR tracking and real-time streaming solution.

The twist: We attached an Optitrack active marker target to each HMD so we were able to have multiple players move in a globally referenced tracking volume. With LPVR-AIR we don’t render the 3D content on the HMDs themselves, but wirelessly transmit it from specialized rendering PCs. This allows us to display high polygon-count content on the HMDs without exceeding the limited computing power of the standalone headsets.

We are still working on a dedicated product page for LPVR-AIR, but already created a solid amount of documentation how to use the solution. Have a look at it here. The document also gives an insight into the specialities and limitations of the system.

Use-Cases Outside Gaming

LPVR series solutions are the industry standard for large-area VR and AR tracking. They enable consumer and professional headsets to work in conjunction with professional-grade tracking and motion capture systems, leveraging their power both in terms of precision and coverage of large areas. While in this demonstration, the trikes were tracked from the outside, we also enable headset tracking completely contained inside moving platforms such as simulators or cars. We are constantly developing and updating it according to our customers’ needs.

Thanks to everybody who stopped by and pedaled their way around the course. Great riding, well done!
